An MP is encouraging home-owners and businesses to take advantage of a Government scheme offering cash back for those making buildings more energy efficient.

The Green Deal, introduced on January 28, offers people a new way of paying for improvements.

As well as saving money on fuel bills, households in who use the Green Deal will also qualify for hundreds of pounds of cash back from the scheme, with packages worth more than £1,000.

Harborough MP Edward Garnier said: "The Green Deal will transform the energy efficiency market and put consumers in charge.

"The scheme will allow people to make their homes warmer and save energy.

"It is also good for businesses, creating a new market and jobs in Harborough, Oadby and Wigston. The Green Deal has great potential to transform Britain's homes."

Under the scheme, an assessor will recommend appropriate improvements.

A Green Deal provider will then write up a contract setting out what work will be done, together with a repayment plan and fixed interest rate, and an approved installer will carry out the work.

The repayments will automatically be added to the electricity bill for a home or business.
